As this court recently noted, numerous California cases after Davis v.

Ins. 197; Brokopp v. Ford Motor Co., supra, 71 Cal.App.3d 841, 853-854, 139 Cal.Rptr. But disturbingly, the defects engineered into the Pinto were no accident. The court then indicated it would modify its earlier order to require only that Ford disclose the identity of the person who developed the report. Draft No. Facing mounting pressure by government regulators and lawsuits, Ford issued a voluntary recall of the Pinto in 1978. (Wilcox v. Berry, 32 Cal.2d 189, 192, 195 P.2d 414; Davey v. Southern Pacific Co., 116 Cal. of Motor Vehicles, 51 Cal.App.2d 753, 758, 125 P.2d 521.) Thus, the Klopstock rationale is inapposite to the validity of the trial court's order denying the Grays' motion to amend the wrongful death cause of action to seek punitive damages. The order, however, is reviewable on an appeal from the final judgment in the action. Ford contends admission into evidence over its objection of a report known as the "Chiara memorandum" (Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. (People v. La Macchia, 41 Cal.2d 738, 744-745, 264 P.2d 15, overruled on other grounds in County of Los Angeles v. Faus, 48 Cal.2d 672, 680, 312 P.2d 680; Baily v. Kreutzmann, 141 Cal.

Tabulation of Grimshaw Obituaries and Death Notices. 667-669.) (Evid.Code, 352, 355; see Conservatorship of Buchanan, 78 Cal.App.3d 281, 289, 144 Cal.Rptr. In Fords quest to make a lighter, cheaper car, the corporation deliberately cut safety corners. Finally, the rationale of danger of excessive punitive damages is difficult to square with the legislation providing for survival of a punitive damage claim enforceable by the personal representative and the joinder of such action with a wrongful death action or consolidation of the actions under the two statutes if they were separately filed. In recommending survival of a claim for exemplary damages, the Commission stated: "The provision in the 1949 legislation that the right to recover punitive or exemplary damages is extinguished by the death of the (injured party) should not be continued. Mrs. Lilly Gray, the driver of the Pinto, suffered fatal burns and 13-year-old Richard Grimshaw, a passenger in the Pinto, suffered severe and permanently disfiguring burns on his face and entire body. 148, 582 P.2d 604, quoting Newland v.

Grimshaw, now 23, accepted a lump sum payment from Ford while awaiting action on the case in the U.S. Supreme Court. (3) Sufficiency Of The Evidence To Support The Finding Of Malice And Corporate Responsibility : Ford contends that its motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict should have been granted because the evidence was insufficient to support a finding of malice or corporate responsibility for such malice. We agree with Ford, however, that to be as accurate as possible, the rule should be expressed in terms of probability [119 Cal.App.3d 817] of injury rather than possibility. That the first contact between plaintiffs' attorneys and Mr. Copp occurred on January 18, 1977, was confirmed by Mr. Copp's testimony [119 Cal.App.3d 783] and was and is unchallenged by Ford. 482, 598 P.2d 452; Bertero v. National General Corp., 13 Cal.3d 43, 66, fn. 389, 582 P.2d 980.) Ford recites a litany of alleged misconduct by plaintiffs' counsel which, it urges, effectively denied it a fair trial. We cannot say that the judge abused the discretion vested in him by Code of Civil Procedure section 662.5 or that there is "no substantial basis in the record" for the reasons given for the order. Ford has utterly failed to show that in any of the specific instances of claimed misconduct, that an objection and admonition would not have remedied the situation. See People v. Superior Court (Olson), 96 Cal.App.3d 181, 191, 196, 157 Cal.Rptr.

(Beagle v. Vasold, 65 Cal.2d 166, 181-182, 53 Cal.Rptr. 25 Defendants demurred on the ground the action was not brought by the real party in interest but the demurrer was overruled and the case went to trial resulting in a plaintiff's judgment. ", Mr. Copp's testimony concerning management's awareness of the crash tests results and the vulnerability of the Pinto fuel system was corroborated by other evidence. By its failure to object to the in camera proceeding, or to the court's consideration of matters revealed in camera, or to request an opportunity to respond thereto, Ford waived its right to assert that the proceedings were improper. Applying the above precepts to the instant case, Ford has failed to demonstrate prejudice from the claimed defect in the instructions on malice. The trial court, however, did not base its decision solely on the ratio of punitive to compensatory. (Id., at p. 432, 143 Cal.Rptr.

Barker contrasts the risk-benefit strict liability test with a negligent design action, stating that "the jury's focus is properly directed to the condition of the product itself, and not to the reasonableness of the manufacturer's conduct. Pinto, however, was a rush project, so that styling preceded engineering and dictated engineering design to a greater degree than usual. The Ninth Circuit also advanced as one of the justifications for precluding punitive damages in wrongful death cases the rationale that punishment and deterrence is most effective when payment is required to be made by the tortfeasor directly to the victim. The charges range from alleged violations of orders in limine, to asking questions suggesting Ford had been guilty of criminal conduct in an unrelated matter, framing questions containing factual assumptions not supported by the record, to misconduct in arguments to the jury. It recommended adoption of Probate Code section 573, 23 which expressly provided for the survival of a cause of action for punitive or exemplary damages. Ford assails the judgment as a whole, assigning a multitude of errors and irregularities, including misconduct of counsel, but the primary thrust of its appeal is directed against the punitive damage award. 32; Seimon v. Southern Pac. Forest E. Olson, Inc. v. Superior Court of California, 446. The contention mistakes the significance of Klopstock, supra, 17 Cal.2d 13, 108 P.2d 906. Moreover, because Mrs. Gray survived for three days after the accident, her heirs are members of the first class. 6 The record reveals that Ford's motion to require plaintiffs to disclose the identity of any "disgruntled" former Ford employee whom they intended to call was triggered by plaintiffs' motion for the identity of the person who developed a federal governmental report on which Ford purported to base a press release concerning the safety of the Pinto. 17 Exhibit 125 was the report by Ford engineers showing savings which would be realized by deferring design changes to the fuel system of Ford automobiles to meet the proposed governmental standards on the integrity of the fuel systems. During those years as an aviator, he was assigned two deployments in Vietnam (261 combat missions), two tours as an A4 Skyhawk instructor, and made more than 700 aircraft carrier landings. On the issue of punitive damages, Ford contends that its motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict should have been granted because the punitive award was statutorily unauthorized and constitutionally invalid and on the further ground that the evidence was insufficient to support a finding of malice or corporate responsibility for malice.

Western [119 Cal.App.3d 816] Union Tel. Inasmuch as the Pinto underwent substantial modifications during 1973 and thereafter, the reports may not have given a true picture of the earlier versions of the Pinto. (Cortez v. Macias, 110 Cal.App.3d 640, 657, 167 Cal.Rptr. During the development of the Pinto, prototypes were built and tested. In addition, most of the matters to which Mr. Copp referred were within his personal knowledge and experience. Plaintiffs' responses to Ford's demand for the names of the experts and to codefendant Wilson-Ford's motion to compel election were filed before January 10, 1977. We find that contention equally lacking in merit. Unlike malicious conduct directed[119 Cal.App.3d 820] toward a single specific individual, Ford's tortious conduct endangered the lives of thousands of Pinto purchasers. We would like to offer our sincere support to anyone coping with grief. 2984-2986.). However, where it appears that a decision to call a new and different expert is made after the response to a compelled election and was not willfully delayed in violation of the spirit of the discovery rules, the failure to exclude such expert's testimony is not an abuse of discretion. However, there was other documentation which illustrated the fact that cost considerations caused Ford to delay incorporating safety features in the fuel tank system of its cars despite the knowledge that there was a need for such improvements. In May 1972, a California woman was killed when her Pinto caught fire after being rear-ended on a highway. 5, 63 Cal.Rptr. (Civ.Code, 4, 5.)
